How many copies of CK2 sold

[francky123]

I know that CK2 is a success but how many copies of the game have been sold so far?

 

[masternr]

I want to know it to !

PI never releases this information AFAIK.

Well, the OP bought it, masternr bought it and me also .. that makes 3 so far ! =D

you could guess it by comparing the "recommends this game to a friend" in steam with other games "recommends this game to a friend" comment of which you know how often it got sold, i would guess CK2 at around 100k sold copies.

2.5k players of it on Raptr, a gaming social network site I use to get my gaming statistics from http://raptr.com/

Not as many as there should be.

Normally you can only judge sales by which member of the team has to shave their head =p

Victoria 2 anyone?

They never say exactly, but I get the impression it sold extremely well.

From the wiki page

"A representative from Paradox confirmed that the game has sold "really well""

That is criminally low considering how awesome CK2 is. I've clocked way more hours on CK2 according to Steam than any other game (120 hours now).

A lot of people (myself included) prefer not to have steam running while playing. My steam hours on the game are about 40, but the actual number is far, far higher.

That's a good point, well made. Out of interest, why not?

But regardless, its most impressive for a Paradox title.

Agreed.

I'd like to see the sales figures, but I'd be equally interested in seeing how the number of players holds up over time. As we all know from EUIII and other Paradox titles, the games have huge longevity and a consistent fan base. I, for one, continue to play Paradox's titles for years after their release, which is certainly not something I can say of other developers' titles.

If that 2.5k player base remains at that level in a year's time, I'll be all the more impressed.

Because Steam is evil?
